Landscaping Testimonials from Clients in the Marietta, GA Area

Thank you for a very good job!

During the first week of August, C&M Residential did a terrific job redoing the landscaping in both my front yard as well as my back yard. The landscaping was looking very tired, plus I had areas were the grass would not grow due to the trees. Denise and her crew put a plan together and now my yard looks very nice. Tony also installed a nice stone walkway which is great. I can now enjoy my property a lot more because of the very good work they performed. Chuck C. ( Oct 09, 2011, Acworth, GA)

Great work all around

Brendan did an awesome job coming up with a plan to resolve our backyard drainage issues. Something earlier contractors were not able to do. The job was done in a timely and efficient manner and we are more than delighted with it. The plan worked and our new patio and stonework looks great! I would definitely choose C&M again.

Have used them for years now !

I have used C&M for various landscape projects in two different homes over a span of about 15-20 years. They always have delivered excellent results. I have used them for stone walls, walkways, complete landscape plans as well as general yard maintenance. And they have stood behind their work when there was any issue with a planting or hardscape installed.

I highly recommend this company to those in the area.

Fixed Me Up

My backyard has a swimming pool. With work and my family we had never taken the time to really fix up the landscaping around the pool area. It would be defined as average. Now, Thanks to C&M, my neighbors are talking, in a good way.

Thanks for the great work.

Over delivered!

I had a backyard that was oddly shaped and stayed soggy most of the time. I wanted a stone patio, veranda, landscaping, deckwork, french doors and more to be installed. Brendan drew up the plans, helped guide me with suggestions and delivered the project on time and on budget! It turned out better than I had ever imagined it could! He resolved the drainage issues (the “flood” proved it).

I would highly recommend C&M Residential.

Top Quality Work from Conscientious Crew

In the summer 2008 I discovered a section of my brick patio just outside of my sunroom was sinking. After having 4 or more companies come out to assess, we hired C&M. We met with an owner, Michael. They correctly assessed that the sink hole extended well under my sunroom and threatened the structure. They gave us references from several other sink hole customers and in the end, they showed they had experience with this. They coordinated with an engineer on supporting the sunroom and then devised and implemented cross beam support, and ended up digging out about 20 full size trees the builder had buried. This was not an inexpensive proposition, and you do pay for C&M’s experience, but in the end we were convinced we made the right call. They finished the sink hole and I liked the quality of their work so asked them to bid on the “rebuilding” of my back yard. Their bid was competitive and they went on to completely rebuild the backyard landscape and they handled the design (thanks Brendan), masonry, stone patio and walkway, fencing, plant selection and installation, drainage, and also built a pretty large pondless water fall and fire pit. They have done an impressive job on a big project (thanks Nick). when i had any issues or concerns (not unusual in a large job like this) I could always talk to directly to the owner. Overall, they are a very good company with cradle to grave service.

Wouldn’t use anyone else!

No one advertises as a specialist in residential bridges so I did a lot of searching before I chose C & M Residential Services. My short list came from Kudzu.com and BBB. C&M got my business because though not the least expensive, first impressions were all positive. For example, my primary contacts are both experienced professionals and leaders in the company, Michael Staley (a C&M owner) and Brendan Smith, landscape architect. Both were very generous with their time to explain the technical aspects of the project so that I could decide among the alternatives. And, they were knowledgeable, accessible and responsive from early until late. My project was reviewed and approved in advance by several in my county’s erosion control and other departments which went smoothly because of C&M’s reputation and Brendan’s plan. And even when Mother Nature added challenges, work proceeded in an orderly way and I was kept informed of all changes. So it turns out that my first impressions were correct. I love the look of my new bridge and our yard when I pull into the driveway. The best benefit is probably that C&M does so much more than just residential concrete work – now I know and trust a company that can help me with landscape design and maintenance, a new deck, stone walkways, and on and on!

C&M is a very reliable company

My experience with C&M Residential was a very positive one. After my call they came and looked at the backyard and presented me with the design. The finished product exceeded my expectations. All their workers were very professional and the work was done on time. Thanks a million for a good job. My visitors are quite impressed.

Excellent Company

C&M performed a major overhaul to the outside of our home last year. They were extremely professional to work with. They completed the project to our extreme satisfaction and in a timely manner. They continue to handle our regular maintenance in a very competent manner. We will look to them when we are ready to make additional upgrades.

Great work!

Brendan’s plan was exactly what I had asked for: a low maintenance slow growing landscape that was reasonable to plant. It was all of the above and I love how it looks -I smile every time I pull in my driveway. C & M’s crew were all professional and did the job in a reasonable amount of time. They re- landscaped my front yard and replaced a small patio in the backyard with a larger one. Great work!

Excellent Workmanship

C&M Residential Services did some major work for us this year on two different occasions and we couldn’t have been more pleased. They are honest, thorough and follow up with any problems or questions on the job. I recommend them highly.

Great Vision & Execution

We had a very problematic backyard that had a steep slope and bad drainage. C & M transformed our backyard into something beautiful and usable, something we hadn’t had in the 7 years we’d been in our home. The landscape architect and crew were very detail oriented and flexible resulting in a truly transformed back yard that met our needs perfectly.

Great Job — True Artistry

Michael at C & M is a real artist. He transformed my “woods and ivy” into a beautiful lawn/landscape and play area for my children. I also had him widen my driveway and plant bushes–two years later, they are all still alive! That’s much better than my prior track record with other companies! C & M Residential has my highest recommendation!

Michael,

The guys finished up today and everything looks great! We have been very impressed by your crew! They are very professional and they’re also very nice and polite. Thanks for doing such a good job for us.

Hello Michael,

You graded and planted fescue in our backyard last March. We are so happy! It is emerald green and has just a few spots where we have reseeded. We are grateful as the grading worked out so well and our lawn is the prize of the neighborhood.

Thank you so much

Guys,

Please tell Pete and Jerry that their carpentry work looks great. After the painters finished with caulk and paint, you could hardly tell they had been here. Their work blended very well. Also, the work Nick and Able did in the back yard was a major improvement over what we had before. And of course, working with Brendan is always a joy. Thanks for everyone’s help in getting these projects finished. We hope the gutters go as smoothly.
